Command Line Interface

httparty also includes the executable httparty which can be
used to query web services and examine the resulting output. By default
it will output the response as a pretty-printed Ruby object (useful for
grokking the structure of output). This can also be overridden to output
formatted XML or JSON. Execute httparty --help for all the
options. Below is an example of how easy it is.
